Bug Fixes and Performance Enhancements
Right off the bat, it’s clear that the development team will spend some time improving the performance of New World based on observations from the closed beta. Several performance enhancements will clearly need to be made, as the beta showcased some unfortunate events. New World caused hardware failure in some Nvidia GPUs due to overheating, a major flaw in a game from what many believe to be a AAA game studio. Players shouldn’t have to worry that choosing high-quality settings in games might destroy their high-end computer components, and the full launch of New World should fix any issues in this regard.
Improved PvE and More Enemy Variety
From many players that experienced the closed beta, a common criticism against the game was regarding its variety of enemies. There were multiple enemies that seemed to just be slight reskins of others with stronger levels attached to them. Well-known MMO streamers such as Asmongold have been quick to point out New World’s problems, and Asmongold is one of the players that have stated their disappointment with the current variety of enemies. It is quite possible that the closed beta of New World only wanted to showcase a certain set of enemies in an effort to leave more surprises for the game’s launch.
The release will also fully open the in-game store, with various in-game items such as cosmetics available to purchase. New World may still contain items such as paid XP boosters at some point, to the dismay of some fans. In any case, there are numerous players already enamored by New World just from its beta. The full launch in September should prove it to be the next big MMO hit.
New World is expected to launch on September 28, 2021 for PC.
